Moving wordpress from xampp to xampp

Question

I'm not a programer I just play around html and css. Few weeks ago I was asked to make a Wordpress site for a friend. Thinking that the best idea would be to do it on XAMPP and then move it to live, I worked on it for quite some time.

Just when I was about to finish, something happened with powersurge and my computer got totaled, motherboard, graphics, power, all fried, all except for hard disc that somehow survived.

Now I got a laptop and new XAMPP instalation, but I have no idea how to transfer site from my old Hard disc to new. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

• Edit: I have moved files from old xampp folder to new, but problem is database.

Answer 1

Usually(default) xampp is installed on the C drive, you can find it at:

C:\\xampp\\

projects are stored in the htdocs file inside of that, move the project(or projects if you have multiple) in its entirety from the old htdocs file to the new one.

Answer 2

从C:\\XAMPP\\mysql\\data获取MySQL数据文件，然后按照此处的说明进行操作

Answer 3

You can do this by following this steps:

1) copy your site from c:/xampp/htdocs/[copy your site name folder] (before just check that your xampp install in which drive. common is C drive).

2)export database from phpmyadmin type in URL : http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ then select your database and export it.

3)paste your folder in new PC's xampp/htdocs

4)import your database in your new Xampp.

Answer 4

I tried this way and its working good.

1. Install xammp and wordpress on new computer.
2. copy wordpress folder from C:\\xampp\\apps folder
3. Export wordpress folder from phpmyadmin.
4. replace the wordpress folder to new system and drop all table from wordpress db and import the old db datas. Notes:
   1. If you config or merge other tools like phpbb means you have to change that also to the new location.
